order. I have engaged Mr. Harry Culbreath,-who has proven
himself to be a very capable man, to operate my gins this sea
son. Bring us your cotton. We guarantee satisfaction. My
prices are the same as last season. I bought bagging and ties

at the old price.
I pay the highest market price for seed or will exchange
